For HIV-infected individuals with highly resistant viruses, higher drug levels may be required to block the virus. This study investigates that concept by comparing the efficacy of standard fosamprenavir/ritonavir to an increased dose of boosted fosamprenavir and to a combination of fosamprenavir (increased dose)/lopinavir/ritonavir.

The average area under the curve minus baseline [AAUCMB] in plasma HIV-1 RNA at 24 Weeks when each are administered in combination with an optimised background therapy, in a multiple PI-experienced population experiencing virological failure. [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Efficacy (AAUCMB) at 48 weeks, safety, tolerability(incidence and nature of AEs and laboratory abnormalities) at week 24 and 48, CD4 change from baseline at week 24 and 48, and the steady-state plasma APV and LPV through concentrations. [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ]

Application of additional exclusion criteria as determined by physician.
